Answer 1

Answer:

$7,120

Explanation:

Given that,

Assets = $85,900

Liabilities = $13,500

Fair value of assets = $90,500

Fair value of its liabilities = $13,500

Amount paid to acquire all of its assets and liabilities = $84,120

Net assets:

= Fair value of assets - Fair value of its liabilities

= $90,500 - $13,500

= $77,000

Goodwill = Purchase consideration - Net assets

               = $84,120 - $77,000

               = $7,120
